1) Key a list of 50 people you know and ask each one if they know someone who works (or has worked) at that employer.

在一份清单上列出50个你认识的人的名单,然后问他们是否认识那位你要应聘的公司的老板。

2) Attend job fairs to meet face-to-face with employers and other professionals.

亲自去招聘会上认识那些雇主和专业人士。

3) Create a free profile and become active on or , which boast a combined 60 million users. Surely you can find someone who knows someone to make that connection.

在 或 网站上免费注册,并在上面积极的活跃起来,因为这两个网站都有六亿的用户。那么你肯定可以在上面找到那位可以帮你介绍给那位公司老板认识的朋友。

4) Create a free account and "follow" friends and post requests for help.

在上免费注册账户,结交朋友,并发布信息寻求帮助。

5) Join an association in your field and network with like-minded peers.

与和你志同道合的同行一起参加你所在行业的协会或社交团。

6) Connect with your high school and college alumni groups. Old pals could be new connectors.

与你的高中或大学校友联系。老校友可能会成为你的介绍人。

7) Talk to your unlikely network. For example, look at the class list of the parents of your kids' friends. Anytime my kids hear about a friend's mom or dad who's lost a job, they tell them to call me. Even though we don't know each other, we have a common connection that can sometimes lead to a contact.

和你认为不太可靠的朋友聊聊。比如说,看看你的小孩朋友的父母名单。每次我的小孩听说他们哪个朋友的父母失业了,他们都会让我的小孩告诉我。虽然我们并不认识彼此,但是因为我们的小孩认识,有一天也可能会相互接触。

9. Follow up with a call or email to the recruiter responsible for filling the position. Never say, "Did you get my resume?" Instead be ready to reiterate your strong qualifications and interest in the role. You'll have just a brief moment to sell yourself, so rehearse before making the call or sending the email.

在投简历之后给招聘人员打个电话或发封邮件咨询下。但是一定不要问“您是否收到了我的简历?”而是反复强调你对该职位非常感兴趣,并且你非常吻合他们的招聘条件。你只有一点点的时间推销自己,所以在打电话或发邮件之前要反复练习。

10. Don't know the name of the right person? Cold-call the company and ask an operator to put you through. If that doesn't work, do a Web search on the term "recruiter" or "HR director" along with the name of your employer of choice. The results may reveal the name you're trying to find. LinkedIn is another resource to find the correct name.

不知道招聘人员的姓名?在某一天突然打电话到公司让前台帮你转接那个招聘人员。如果这招无效的话,那就在网站上输入你可选择的雇主名单加上“招聘人员”或“人力资源部经理”一起搜索。你可能会搜索到你想要找的名字。另外,你也可以在LinkedIn上找到正确的招聘经理的名字。

11. Stay top of mind. Every recruiter is different, which makes this a challenge. Some say you're welcome to follow up weekly. Others say every other week is enough. And then there are some who'll tell you to never call. Find the right balance so you're politely persistent without crossing over to a pest.

一定要铭记于心。每个招聘人员都是不同的,这点是个挑战。有些人说你可以在一周后跟进求职事项。而另一些则说几个星期的时间久足够了。还有些招聘人员叫你永远不要给他们打电话询问后续事宜。找到正确的平衡点,这样你才能迈出礼貌的一步而不会触发个人忌讳。

12. Ask directly for advice on how and when to follow up. A simple question, "What's the best way to keep in touch?" will give you the details you need to stay ahead of the pack.

直截了当地问明求职跟进事宜。一个最简单的方法就是问“和您保持联系的最佳方式是?”,这样问会让你知道想要保持领先的详细秘诀。
